Introduction-Section 1602 of the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, which was signed into law on June 10, 1993, contains provisions which substantially modify the service payback requirements for individuals receiving Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA). These modifications apply to individuals beginning Kirschstein-NRSA-supported appointments or fellowship awards on or after June 10, 1993. Under these requirements:


Predoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA recipients will not incur a payback obligation;


Postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA recipients will incur a payback obligation only during the initial 12 months of postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA support;


Postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA recipients in the 13th or subsequent months of Kirschstein-NRSA support do not incur any additional payback obligation.


Under the new requirements, payback obligations stemming from postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA support may be discharged in the following ways:


By receiving an equal period of postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA support beginning in the 13th month of such postdoctoral Kirschstein-NRSA support;


By engaging in an equal period of health-related research, research training, and/or health-related activities that averages at least 20 hours per week based on a full work year;


By engaging in an equal period of health-related teaching that averages at least 20 hours per week based on a full work year.


Kirschstein-NRSA appointments or individual awards will be governed by the service payback requirements articulated in the National Research Service Award Guidelines. These guidelines can be found in the NRSA portion of the most recent version of the NIH Grants Policy Statement found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/policy.htm .
